Many homes in the United States and world wide are heated by
burning wood or Peat as a fuel source for heating homes. Many of these furnaces
are constructed by case iron or heat treated steel. However there is always a
glass product that provides a view of the flame in the burning chamber. This is
not ordinary glass product. Due to the extreme heat and pressure created inside
the chamber, the glass needed has to withstand high heat conditions. In the
last 20 years the creation of the fireplace insert was introduced into
residential homes.

The glass product suited for both the wood stove, and the
fireplace insert is a product we sell is called Pyroceram. There are also
several names given for each product and each one creates different temperature
tolerances. We carry the Pyroceram
product which is the product made in the USA license by Corning. our
woodstove glass is of the highest quality in the market. Corning is the same
company that created the product called Pyrex that we all use in our homes to
cook food in. Pyrex was introduced in the 1940s as a fabulous substitute to
cook your meat loaf and see how the meat loaf is doing being that the glass is
transparent. prior to the introduction of Pyrex people use the cook with tin
plates were Tin bowls where the meat or any other thing you are cooking would
stick to the pan, and as we all know it is very difficult to clean Tin. the
trade secret back in the 40s that made Pyrex indispensable and unique was the
introduction of an element called Boron. However Pyrex had a very low concentration
of boron thus the heat rating for Pyrex is about the same as the maximum
temperature on oven would produce. It also had a very high breakage rate due to
the low concentration of boron making it glass and a low level ceramic. Too
many times I would make the same mistake as all of you where I took the meat
loaf out of the Pyrex and then took the glass which was hot and put it in the
sink and ran cold water on it only for it then to break right before my eyes.
That is not the case with woodstove glass. Woodstove glass you literally can
pour water on it while it is still hot and the glass will not break. This is
due to the high concentration of boron which makes the glass less brittle and
more ceramic in nature. It's almost like the product is transparent metal. The
higher the boron concentration the higher the temperature rating glass can
withstand.

During the process and manufacturing of woodstove glass,
boron is added to float glass and rolled on tin sheets filled with water, which
is commonly known as float glass, which gives the glass smooth transparent look
like you have when you look outside your picture window at home. To make this
glass less brittle, it undergoes another process called annealing. Which makes
the glass less brittle and easy to cut. This is the reason why we can cut any
size or any shape from a sheet of Pyroceram woodstove glass. however the
higher concentration of boron that is introduced into the product does give it
a slight amber color, being that boron is a amber colored element. But do not
concern yourself with the transparency. Even though it is not clear you can
still see through this glass clearly and once installed in the wood stove or
fireplace insert new really don't know the difference. It does not take away
from the ambience of the flame which is the main reason why we have glass in
fireplace inserts so people have the best of both worlds. One is your living
room efficiently by burning the wood, pellets, or if you still old fashion
Peate.

There are different shapes and sizes
that we are able to create for you. We do need patterns to copy and make your
glass perfect. The life expectancy of woodstove glass is approximately 20 to 25
years. The major reason for breakage of woodstove glass is overfilling the chamber with wood, and it is
disturbing that when you fill you woodstove, or fireplace insert before going
to bed, only to wake up and see a crack is usually due to a rolling log that
hit the glass. To help this woodstove glass and breaking when this happens is
the use of a high temperature fiberglass rope which sometimes will help in
absorbing the shock. Check with your manufacturer's booklet if you still have
it about the use of this would stove fiberglass rope. It is prudent that this
rope is used to separate itself from any metal that is in a frame that
surrounds the glass. Although there are many different applications of
woodstove glass that are attached to either the woodstove with a fireplace insert
is always smart to try to put a woodstove rope around the glass and the metal
frame which keeps it in place. If you are replacing this glass because of age
and the loss of clarity is crucial that you replace the glass with a new rope.
Another reason for the high breakage rate of wood stove glass in the
marketplace today is the manufacturers have replaced true woodstove glass with
a substandard product called borosilicate. You will know the difference if you
see the glass in the doors to be clear rather than Amber. I have been to the
two largest hardware chains that sell wood stoves and wood stove inserts which
I will not mention here, and have seen these woodstove products with the clear glass
in it. We have sold many pieces of glass to very unhappy customers after the
first or second burn with the glass is broken for no reason. when the customer
calls the manufacturer or the retailer many times they get the answer, well it
was your fault you've must've hit the glass. They know the problem but again if
you go to a reputable store that sells wood stoves and fireplaces inserts you
will notice the amber color and the glass. However you will spend more than
$1000 for anything of quality. Instead of getting painted high speed steel
expect to see cast-iron or other high quality material. Remember when buying a
brand-new woodstove or wood stove insert they are a lifetime investment
something that you do not want to cut corners on. At full burn, the atmospheric temperature
inside your woodstove or fireplace insert reaches as high as 1100°. Our product
can handle this very easily, however the clear borosilicate can only handle up
to 800°. It was a cost-saving measure as some of these items are sold for less
than $1000 and the manufacturer had to cut costs in some way. So if you would
just using one or two logs you can get away for a while but if you burn a lot
and reach the 1100° atmospheric temperature that is normal in the unit this
glass will reach its critical thermal breakdown which is around 900°. Our
product easily handles up to 1450° with a thermal breakdown of 1650°. The other
reason for replacement of woodstove glass, is that over time the glass will go
under a thing called atomization. This is the pitting and the discoloration of
the glass over a long period of time. Like I said woodstove glass could last a
very long time but eventually everything does have its point of no return.

Anytime you replace the woodstove glass from the door, it is always smart to take the door off the
hinge, and laying it on a flat surface. Yes I know sometimes the handle gets in
the way, and yes the screws sometimes are difficult to remove due to the age
and the constant heat bombardment, but it is much easier to work on your head
on a table. If you have difficulty in removing the screws we must remember that
they have suspension and contraction capabilities just like the frame around
itself. Both also might need to be replaced. All of these materials, the rope,
the screws, the possibly bent frame, can all be found in any local retail
location that sells woodstoves and fireplace inserts for living. Just like any
glass product there is no uniform or consistent size of the glass nor is there
any one way of installing or removing this product. So you must use common
sense sometimes. If the screw is hard to remove from the frame, first try to
use a liquid wrench type product and let it soak. The other and more quicker
way is to apply high heat using a propane torch on the screw which usually will
expand and become easier to remove. These screws are made for high temperature.
Do not try to substitute them with a low grade stainless steel as they will not
hold up with the heat stress. Also when surrounding the rope around the framed
metal remember to always just hand tightened the screw. Too many people think
we have to make it tighter so the glass will fall out this is not the case on
the installation of the woodstove glass. This is why it is imperative to use
the woodstove rope so the glass will not snap. It is always smart to screw this
in a counterclockwise and tighten slowly as you go around.

Feel free to email us if you ever have any questions. Also
when measuring the glass prior to ordering, it is always best to remove the
glass from the frame. The best measurement is from the glass it's in it now
unless you had problems with this glass due to previous replacement. Unlike
tempered glass you can cut wood stove glass. If you have to cut anything less
than a half an inch glass shops using wet carbide belt sanders have the ability
to shorten this product. If you need to do this do a search in your local area
plate glass and mirror shops as many of them will always have a standup wet
carbide belt Sander. No respectable plate and glass company could ever run
successfully without one.

Pyroceram III
woodstove glass is not ordinary glass.
It is a amber transparent ceramic product. Pyroceram III has entirely different characteristics
from tempered glass, as tempered glass goes through a heat process creating an
outer shell surface of normal plate glass that can handle up to 550° with a
thermal breakdown of 650. You cannot use tempered glass as a replacement for
woodstove glass. The price of woodstove glass is much higher than tempered due
to its features and the elements needed to produce the product. Pyroceram
has a high thermal ceramic with a heat rating of around 1450 degrees and is
normally used in high heat applications such as woodstoves and fireplace
inserts. Fireplace doors do not generate enough heat to exceed the thermal
rating so if you need to replace you fireplace door, hi strength tempered glass
is you best cost effective option. However there are new fireplace door
inserts. These new products are inserted into your fireplace and act as a mini
wood stove. They do create enough heat for the use of Pyroceram . So if you
need to replace the glass in your fireplace swing doors, and not a fireplace
insert or a woodstove, then you need a
tempered product.

Pyroceram Ceramic
glass breakage usually occurs as a result of impact or the retaining hardware
was too tight or during eventual thermal breakdown which can take several year
or even decades. When broken it will usually just crack like normal glass.
Pyroceram is amber in color and is made of 3/16 or 1/8th thick glass and is
the best glass product to replace for your wood stove.
